A Correct answer
Explanation

Glean means to gather information or collect material, often in small amounts or from various sources. The word gather is a direct synonym, capturing the essential meaning of collecting or accumulating. Speak, discover, polish, and flaunt do not relate to the careful collection or harvesting that glean implies.
